We don't need to ban every single bit of plastic. It's fine to keep it where it's absolutely necessary. Some of the examples you provided definitely aren't necessary though, like individually wrapped cutlery (wtf) or beverages (can use glass).

I have a hard time picturing how a "return to nomadic tribes" would even work. How would you turn a densely populated country like, say, the Netherlands, into nomadic tribes? The planet could never sustain 8 billion people living as nomads. Not to mention, it wouldn't stop war or conquest in any way. See the Mongols, Scythians etc.

Areas with lots of city states have historically been hotbeds of war and chaos. Ancient Greece or the HRE constantly had tiny states squabbling. It would also make large infrastructure projects much harder. Building a highspeed railway line through Europe is hard enough right now, imagine the same thing but instead of 5 countries, it goes through 50. It would also be a mess to get any unified environmental policies through.

So no, I don't think either option is realistic or desirable.

I've kind of stopped caring about the gift-receiving aspect of christmas in recent years. So I mainly look forward to the family Raclette dinner on christmas eve and meeting some old friends who come home for christmas.

Smallest percentage I got was top 1% for Yellow Magic Orchestra. 192k monthly listeners.

Writing on random pieces of paper. Sometimes I also write an email to myself or use notepad.

You can already do that. That's one of the basic features of Lemmy. For example, my account is not from lemmy.world, but I can comment here. Looking on your profile, you've also already commented on lemmy.ml posts.

I think the point is more to mock the pseudoscience/history in a skit format, but his comments aren't especially funny or clever. I'd describe it more as "failed comedy" than "old-perv" vibes but it does seem like he should stick to long-form documentary content.

On Mac OS, it's generally split though, isn't it? The Dock is probably the closest equivalent to a TaskBar, though the menu bar also fulfills some functions of one.

Geowizard's "straight line missions", where he attempts to cross countries in a completely straight line. This is the first one. They have just the right amount of adventure, good music and great narration.

In theory, it can also be used by the recommendation algorithm to show you less such videos. Who knows if it's actually used like that though.
